[99B blob data]

Hello, I updated my debian to buster, and now mariadb does'nt want to start. In journalctl I have: juil. 06 12:34:01 cantine systemd[1]: Starting MariaDB 10.3.22 database server... juil. 06 12:34:02 cantine mysqld[22824]: [99B blob data] juil. 06 12:34:02 cantine mysqld[22824]: Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted juil. 06 12:34:02 cantine systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE juil. 06 12:34:02 cantine systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. juil. 06 12:34:02 cantine systemd[1]: Failed to start MariaDB 10.3.22 database server.

And I don't find 99B blob data Thanks for help Benoit

Answer Answered by Daniel Black in this comment.

The blob data message is odd, try a range of `journalctl` options to see if it can be exposed. Looking at the code at the things that occur before the "Fatal error in defaults handling" this would be a `Could not open required defaults file: {filename}`.

"Fatal error in defaults handling" looks like one of your config files isn't readable by the mysqld process (which would be running as the mysql user).
